    Nomoney :D instead of Shoemoney is what is happening here.

    I signed up for a week and here are my stats:

    So far no revenue from 27 clicks what is going on, and I have a good CTR % as well. Any explanations?

    The URL for the website using it is http://www.usmansworld.com

    Read the FAQs.

    They are not a CPC program they pay per action, if someone bids and wins something, then you get paid, otherwise you don't.

    I have not seen any sales either. I am testing auction ads of a few sites and think i will go back to amazon products instead.

    ebay only pays out if a new account is created or an item is purchased.

    Getting a few clicks a day isn't going to see much of a result to be honest, that's the fault AuctionAds. That's the way any PPA affiliate program is structured.

    The more clicks you get the more successful you will be. I am averaging $10 a day so far this month but I am also getting around 200 clicks a day.

    glancing at your site Ratman2050, I think you need better ad targetting and also your auction ads needs to appear in the header as well since that is the key location people will see it in, also on the right panel I see alot of empty space as I go down the page, all that unoccupied space should have auction ads filling it, if you really want to be successful then just remember you get what you give, I think there is potential but focus on keyword targetting and also on placement. Remember try to use as few keywords as possible and only 2-3 max.

    I presume you were'nt making much money from Adsense with this unit earlier either?

    In any event you will need far more clicks per day to get anything from AuctionAds

    Yeah, only 27 clicks is waaaay too early to know if it will be a successful way to monetize your site.

    Okay then, what are some good keywords to monetize?

    And yes, I don't get much revenue from Adsense either, it's only been up 1 month.

    IF you'd actually read up on the network before using it you'd realise why you have 27 Clicks and $0

    27 Clicks is very low, you need more traffic to profit from CPA networks unless you're site is very niche.

    I've earned $250 so far this month. Earnings are published with a two days delay so I've made that in 10 days. I have an average of 700-800 clicks per day.

    No affiliate or CPC program can be evaluated with just 27 clicks. With that kind of traffic you won't know what works and what doesn't.

    Just leave your ads on your page and focus on traffic.

    Keep on trying, Auction ads is great.

    You've only had 27 clicks. That is not many clicks to go on. You need more clicks than that, much more before you may start seeing some sales.

    Lets not forget - 27 clicks might get you $2 from adsense.

    SO dont think you should be making millions with 27 clicks. No advertising would make you much with 27 clicks.

    Get your traffic up - forget about the ads. You need to get your site busier. Ads should be secondary to that.

    Just enlighten me on something - any sale you make will not actually show up in your stats until the buyer actually WINS the auction, right? So that's another factor which brings down the number of successful actions? And also means your click-throughs are not directly related to your revenue for the same day? Or does the revenue show up later for a previous day?

    I've just put on auctionads recently, and I haven't done much yet, not going well so far.. must admit though, there's not much market/products available(in western countries) for the topic I write about. I get a constant 700-800 uniques a day at the moment.

    No idea what the 0.26 and the 0.11 are... maybe someone signed up to Ebay.

    There's been a few days where auctionads seems to be not working properly and showing star wars stuff or audio visual equipment, totally unrelated to either my product or keywords. Also alot of items don't have pictures.
